Little grey dress (outfit post) / Siva haljinica (odjevna objava)

What to wear to a beach? This is my answer. I guess I'm just not a flip flops kind of girl. I always liked this little grey dress. I hand painted it last summer with textile paints but I'm thinking of making the print I painted a bit more visible. Or should I keep it more subtle? Decisions, decisions.... The photographs were taken despite on my way back home from the beach in Split city, Croatia.

Što nositi na plažu? Ovo je moj izbor. Valjda jednostavno nisam tip za japanke. Uvijek sam voljela ovu sivu haljinicu. Oslikala sam je sama prošlog ljeta s tekstilnim bojama, ali razmišljam o tome da ovaj uzorak napravim malo vidljivijim...ili je bolja suptilnija verzija? Odluke, odluke....Fotografije su uslikane na povratku s plaže u Splitu.

    Thank you, honey. After much thought, I decided not to have a normal necklace with my name, but I prefer a delegate, with the name of my blog. The idea came up and I think it worked very well. So Ive been with some of you.

    Love your outfit!! Perfect bag :D

    Meni se baš sviđa što je crtež ovako suptilan, zbog nježne boje haljine :) Ja sam totalno tip za japanke, ili još bolje, za bose noge, čim se približim plaži, bacam sve sa sebe :)

    Cute little dress! Suits you perfectly! But as I like to wear brighter colours I guess I would have made that painting on the dress more visible. Or maybe not? Sometimes I prefer all-white looks...Just as you said "decisions, decisions" :)

    It looks like perfect dress for the beach, I really like the color of it, you look so pretty in grey :) And personally if I were you, I would paint it more visible, because grey is perfect background for the prints :) Moreover, this beach looks stunning, I love your photos :) What's more, I see that there the weather in your country isn't as sunny as it usually should be in July, but I hope that will get better as soon as possible!

      I can't decide...maybe I should wait till I get bored of it and then paint something else, perhaps something more obvious and contrasted.

    Kudos for wearing heels on the beach. I thought that was just a Russian thing. Much as I love heels I love the feeling of sand in between my toes and the freedom of chucking the cheap flip flops aside to run into the sea for a dip!
    Love the painted dress and how lovely and long your legs look in it.

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

OUTFIT TIPS FOR VISITING MOSTAR CITY IN SUMMER

Mostar is the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, second only to Sarajevo. Being the the largest city in the Herzegovina region, Mostar is the natural business, administrative, cultural, educational and tourist centre of the Herzegovina region.

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Image
Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #39- STJEPAN FORTRESS BLAGAJ (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share another destination painting of mine. You know what that means- it's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post! Today I'm taking you to Herzeg Stjepan Kosaca fortress. This stunning historical fortress overlooking Blagaj in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sight to behold. Trying to capture its magical beauty in a painting was a challenge!  The medium for this painting is acrylic paints on cotton canvas. The painting process was actually quite long and tedious. I've worked on this painting since Autumn and I only finished it towards the end of Summer. I rushed the painting towards the end, because I wanted to participate in the joint artist exhibition. There was a submission deadline to meet, so I submitted this canvas not feeling confident it's actually finished. If you happen to visit Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you'll be able to see my painting hanging in the Stjepan Kosača gallery for the next
